How exactly did you get THAT out of what I wrote?
I somehow can't learn new mechanics during the fight "on the fly". In that regard I'm usually one of the slowest in the PF groups I join and often drag them down, esp. if raiders are part of the group. So I need more preparation and more practice than others. That makes it more exhausting for me.
I'm also not exactly in perfect health, so I can't just say "today I'm just going to practice xyz". I need to be prepared for that too. So even if all conditions are met, and I actually feel like doing such content today, it's physically still very exhausting for me.

Also I'm not a hardcore raider, far from it and so are most people of my static and we first killed Shiva 5 weeks ago.
Well, I haven't even tried Ramuh yet, and skipped the last tier completely because the graphic effects of E1S made me nauseous. So no idea what all those action names from Shiva mean. To me even clearing the last fights of a savage tier is a lot. Never done it myself, I do some ex trials and the first two savage fights - if at all.
I'm probably a special case though.

Still, even for players that are physically able to play a lot and so on, there are valid reasons why many can't or don't want to do content where you have to practice a lot at first.
That doesn't mean everyone is lazy, bad or doesn't want to put in any effort. I always try my best in FFXIV.
Another thing for me is about communicating with others. I'm not the best at social interaction, so that's another reason why I rather do casual content now.
